TWO police officers in Georgia, the U.S., have been placed on leave after video showed them using a coin-toss app before determining whether to arrest a woman caught speeding in April, and the police chief said he is “appalled” by the move.

“Why am I being arrested?” Sarah Webb is heard saying to Officer Courtney Brown in the bodycam footage, which first reported the story.

Webb, who said Friday she was speeding because she was late for her job at a hair salon, was arrested on charges of speeding, reckless driving and driving too fast for conditions, according to police records.

Earlier last week, a prosecutor dismissed the charges, the station reported.

In the video posted by WXIA, Brown and another officer, Kristee Wilson, are heard discussing what they should do with Webb, and Brown says that she doesn’t have speed detection equipment and Wilson says she doesn’t have any tickets. The officers used the terms “A” for arrest for heads, and “R” for release for tails, according to the station.

The video audio appears to show Wilson say “This is tails right?” Brown says, “Yeah. So release?” and then Wilson says “23,” the police code for arrest, WXIA reported.

“These are people who are supposed to protect us, and instead are treating our freedom and our lives like games,” Webb, 24, told NBC News on Friday. “It’s disgusting. It’s scary to think police officers do stuff like this.”

Roswell Police Chief Rusty Grant said both officers have been placed on administrative leave and an internal investigation has been launched.

“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, to be honest,” Grant told NBC News of the video. “It was appalling.”

“This isn’t a police procedure, to bring a coin flip — whether it’s an app or an actual coin toss — that’s not part of that decision making to decide to take someone’s freedom,” Grant said.

Webb said she didn’t know the officers used the coin-toss app before arresting her until she was contacted by WXIA three weeks before her court date. In a police arrest report, Brown wrote that she was on patrol April 7 when a vehicle sped past her, and she estimated in the report that the car was traveling around 85 mph (136 kmph) in a 45 mph zone before it was pulled over.
